When the Temperature Hits 0 Degrees Being a Green Warrior Is Political Suicide As Hochul Approves Natural Gas Pipeline Expansion

 

It is easy to be a Green Warrior, ignoring the fact that China and India are building coal fired power plants at a rapid pace
And the coal emissions are not confined to their nation’s boundaries but travel all over the place
When temperatures are moderate, not requiring air conditioners or furnaces to run 24/7 at max power
So you are not covered with sweat in the summer or conversely in the winter too cold to exit a warm shower
Cuomo was a green warrior and worse shut down a Hudson River nuclear power plant
Hochul readily picked up the gauntlet to escalate New York’s war on fossil fuels rants
Banning gas powered heating and gas powered stoves on new construction
Pushing homeowners and businesses to use electric power for heat and to eat which if obtained through renewable sources would end climate change destruction
With temperatures near zero and the power grid not able to generate enough juice
To warm structures so the inhabitants were not exposed to freezing abuse
Hochul seeing the ice forming on the walls was forced to eat crow
And finally approve expansion of a critical 400+mile gas pipeline so more natural gas would flow
May be too little and too late
Even if not deadly, residents will suffer a being cold and miserable fate
And if the summer is one of high temps and high humidity residents cursing Hochul will fear
That in large areas of New York, power black outs or brown outs will appear
Hopefully voters with memories of their miseries will not be too short
And voting Red as opposed to Blues will her second term abort
